MICHELLE'S reviewS

Empathy has been sitting on my kindle for quite sometime and I finally decided that I need to read this book. I totally went in blind reading this book, not reading the reviews and I'm so happy that I did. Empathy was one of those reads that I think its best to go along this dark and twisty read. Ms. Dukey really pushed the boundaries since you are drawn to this psychotic thrill ride of characters who have you on the edge of your seat. If you are looking for a hearts and flowery type of book, then this book is not for you. This is not a conventional type of romance but a book that makes you crave for more as three lives are on a collision course of pain, craziness, heartache and love. All I can say go read this book if you like sexy, steamy, dark and twisty reads!!!!

Ahhh...Ker Dukey has me addicted!!!! Vacant picks off where it last left off in Desolate with Cereus away at college and trying to continue living but the darkness inside her becomes to take over. Dark twisted thoughts begins to consumes her. Blood. Death. Revenge. And so begins Cereus turmoil of darkness and sinner. Does the killer gene live within Cereus as she begins and craves blood? Can she finally be free and embrace the sinner with the help of Ryan?

Vacant was sinfully wicked. I loved that we got a taste of what is to come with Cereus as she embraces this calling and yearning that Ryan ignites. Can two sinners who know are related by blood be truly fated to be soulmates? I seriously can't wait to read Deadly and to see what is in store for these two. So if you found Ryans's dark and twisted thoughts consuming, then prepared to get consumed with the deadly darkness that lies in Cereus.

Ker Dukey has me wickedly addicted to the Empathy Series. If I thought I Empathy was dark and twisted, Desolate was one fantastic sequel that was still a dark, twisted psychopathic thriller that played with your mind. In this book, we are focused more on Ryan and his dark thoughts after being released from the psychiatric ward after 18 years.

Ryan is still dark, manipulative, and deadly but his newest obsession is not of Blake and Melody but of their daughter Cereus. He sees his niece as a piece of him since hes feels a kinship to her. She has similar qualities that calms his craving from inflicting pain and killing her. He begins to form a friendship with her without her parent's knowledge. So when his brother, Blake learns of his release he begins to follow and suspect his brother is back to his need to kill since homicides begins to pile up that are similar to the dark cravings that Ryan seems to enjoy. So what happens when the craving of inflicting pain and blood begins to resurface? Can Blake protect his family from psychopathic brother?

Desolate was just as riveting and captivating as Empathy. This book still follows the same formula of being told in Blake, Ryan, and Melody's POV which allowed readers like myself to be fully engulfed into the story as their past begins to haunt and plague them. For 18 years, Blake and Melody thought they were safe now and so what happens when their past comes back with a vengeance. Desolate is a must read especially if you want to know more and what happens to the Braxton family!!!!
